Today we will come to the third dosha, to Vata. Vata is responsible for the air in our body. If you have more Vata in your body than is normal or good for you, many problems can occur. Physically, all kinds of pain are due to an imbalance in Vata. Vata is responsible for each movement in your body so if you feel tired and lazy it can mean that you have a Vata problem. Symbolically speaking Pitta is anger, kapha is greed and in the same way vata is desire and lust.
I talked about these topics already and I also said that we all have desires. We cannot be free of all desires when we live in this world. And a strong desire can be a wonderful feeling, it actually has great energy. However it is important where the energy is directed to. Whether it is a craving for chocolate or for cigarettes, the energy is not bad. Give it the right direction. This is how people with a problem of desire can get rid of it: turn your desire into love, on the path of devotion. Surrender yourself and you will see how desires get less. In this way desire is transformed and purified.
Today we had a food sponsor for the food in the Ashram. As you can read on the pictures, the food for the children was sponsored by the vegetarian restaurant ‘Zimt & Koriander’ in Wiesbaden. I already told about this restaurant and Pavan, the owner, when we were there for dinner. Thomas gave the inspiration to Pavan to put a savings box for our children into his restaurant and I am happy to see that now, after some weeks in which customers had time to put their change into it, Pavan and his restaurant were able to sponsor today’s food. Of course everyone is welcome to follow this great example and put a savings box into his or her shop, restaurant or center. So a big thanks to Pavan, to Thomas and Iris and of course to everyone who came by and supported this project.

I have a problem breathing a lot of the time, i wonder if it has something to do with my vata dosha? I experience a slight physical pain a lot of the time and much tiredness and never known why. Curious... I'm going to look more into it, thanks!

SourceLove is the soul of our soul. Without it, you can be alive, but your soul is dead. We need love, it is the essence of our essence.
SourceWe need hope to go on living in bad situations and there is always reason to hope. But don’t create illusions - disappointment will be even worse! Giving someone wrong hope can shatter their dreams very suddenly.
SourceThe main factors for a good relationship are that you are physically close and devoted without any ego. If this devotion is not there, they will be far from each other even if they are physically close, sleeping and living in the same room. Then they cannot understand each other and in these cases relationships sometimes break even after a very long time.
SourceIf you don’t have hopes, dreams and expectations you won’t be happy. Dream, hope, let your imagination fly and simultaneously use your brain, hands and feet in order to make your dreams become reality!
SourceGurus with business interests made it possible to convert to Hinduism!
SourceWhy do you fight!? If you need God, he exists for you. If you don’t, he doesn’t exist for you.
SourceWomen are taught that their guru is God. You do what God says and whatever God says is right and has a deeper meaning. If God asks you to touch his genitals or if he kisses you, there will be a reason. Some gurus even told their favourite female disciples that they were the chosen ones who will receive enlightenment the fastest.
SourceYou are the best expert for your children!
SourceYou can never be satisfied with material because there is no limit. There is also no end to love or God. When you are in love you want to feel it more and more. You want to feel God more and more deep.
SourceYou can turn Hinduism as you like, you can wish for whatever you want, heaven or liberation - it is flexible enough to grant you everything.
SourceSometimes the outcome is simply not in our control, so stop thinking about what could have happened if you had taken another decision.
SourceA positive attitude from your side will also change your surroundings.
SourceYou are special because of who you are - not because of what you do!
